I've been looking at Jade Empire, as I can get it for dirt cheap, but not sure if I'll like it. So watching JE from you might help.

I know, but we already had a title for number 6, and I have been watching a lot of videos of Christopher Plummer and Generations was awful.

But Jade Empire is totally worth a playthrough.

Jade Empire is fantastic. I think I've played through that game 4 times. It suffers from the standard bioware problem of "we give you choices but really you're sticking to one moral path for the entire game" but other than that it's pretty solid. Also cool that there's styles and allies exclusive to both moral paths. Even though the earth style and paralyzing palm are way better than their closed fist counterparts.

I liked Earth and Fire styles of use.

I should borrow my friend's Xbox to play it again.

Once again I'm in if the time is good for me.

Just want to say that a vote for Jade Empire is a vote for Smarty.

Is it one of those RPGs with tons of dialogues where a lot of the game relies on talking a lot and dialogue trees? Because if so I would doubt it is a good game to do an alcohol induced stream of. I just heard Bioware and thought this was what might happen.

If it's really more about kicking people than talking to them, though, I don't see a reason not to play that game. Can you kick people while talking to them, though? That would be best. You can do that in Dark Souls, but that's a bad game to Drunkstream for other reasons

It came out during the KOTOR era so yeah, a bit of dialogue. But there is a lot of kicking. And you can turn into a giant toad man.

Arcanum · 01-05-2013, 07:45 PM

There is quite a bit of talking. But there is also quite a bit of kicking (especially if you choose the Legendary Strike style to start with, because its entire moveset is kicks (it might have one or two punches but I don't think it does)).

Alternate suggestion involving kicks: Dead Island. You can kick zombies to re-death. Also it has 4 player co-op.
